    Hello all,

    I would like to extend the cord that is in the ceiling. Forging a space for a can in the ceiling is probably pointless, as is forging a new groove in the ceiling for a new box cable in the wall.
    Should connecting the cable with a wago connector, putting on heat-shrinkable sleeves and / or adding a dielectric mass (e.g. seal 511) should work? It is not a false ceiling, of course.

    And how will this extra section be placed, under plaster or on top?
    As under plaster, WAGO connectors tend to fall off. You need to make a muff. The individual wires are connected with special connectors and with a crimping machine you clamp the connection, all in a heat shrink sleeve.

    It has been so many times, but in these posts the word ceiling was never mentioned! I created one of these posts myself.

    What's the difference between the ceiling and the wall?
    Well, you didn't answer the question how this extended section is to be placed, and maybe the reason why you want to extend it?

    Under the plaster. The chandelier is to be placed in a different place than the contractor assumed.

    Putty, it can also be wallpaper and finally painting.
    I have not encountered plastering. :D

    That little friend saw.
    The putty was only in a large slab and not always. The leveling compound of the cables will not cover.

    You need to make a furrow

    The furrow can only be made in plaster, the ceiling must not be tampered with.

    We use cables for the ceiling: YDYp - a cable with single-wire copper conductors (D) and PVC insulation (Y) and PVC sheath (Y), flat (p)
    In addition, the joint can be spread over a larger surface so that it is not too thick.

    Forging anyway. Isn't it better to replace the entire episode right away?

    Wallpaper on the ceiling? :)
    I plaster, and then even, give the plaster. The ceiling is already slightly disturbed, i.e. there is a hole in which the cable bends and changes direction - that's what the developer did.
    I can add a new cable from the box, but I am also wondering whether I should connect the wires in the place where there is this hole and the hole itself (place) could be used for connectors / muff.

    Better put a new cable from the can. Works not much more and peace of mind forever.

    Solder, heat-insulate the T-shirt, putty and after pain.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around extending an electrical cord in a ceiling, with considerations for using Wago connectors, heat-shrinkable sleeves, and dielectric mass (Seal 511). Users express concerns about the placement of the extension, particularly under plaster, where Wago connectors may not adhere well. Suggestions include making a groove for proper wire connection and using crimping tools for secure connections. Some participants recommend replacing the entire cable for reliability, while others discuss the feasibility of connecting wires at the existing hole in the ceiling. The conversation highlights the importance of proper insulation and securing connections to ensure safety and functionality.
